A multichannel imaging system generates an ensemble of images for each field
of
view of an object. Each image in the ensemble is intended to contain information
from only one source among a plurality of sources for the object. However, due
to crosstalk, at least a portion of the signal from a first source appears in a
channel intended for a second source. Because the accuracy of the correction will
be degraded if the images in an ensemble are spatially misaligned with respect
to one another, the spatial offset between images is determined and a correction
is applied to substantially eliminate the offset. Then, a correction to the signals
is determined to substantially reduce the contributions to the signal in a channel
from the signals in other channels. The signal processing can be employed to process
the output signals for each of a plurality of different disclosed imaging systems.
